500 horsepower. 0 to 60 in 3.7 seconds. Top speed of 149mph, probably limited. Enter the BMW M4 GTS. This is the newest iteration of the M4. This one shaves off 200 pounds by using aluminum and carbon fibre on its materials list. Add to that a BMW first, using water-injection. This setup creates a... Continue Reading →
Back again...kinda. I've kinda deviated away from my Shut Up and Take My Money posts, but I got a new one for ya. Of course, these won't be weekly posts anymore, but whenever I come up with one, y'all will get a post. Now for the latest, Shut Up and Take My Money. The main... Continue Reading →
This week's The Short Throw is about a crossover that has graced my blog a few times. If you haven't read the title, I'm refering to the Tesla Model X which is probably one of the baddest vehicles of year. 3.2 0-60 time from a 5000+ pound Crossover is epic...its just too bad. "Too bad?"... Continue Reading →
And y'all thought "Deflategate" was bad. 11 million VWs and Audis equipped with the 2.0L 4 cylinder TDI engine, were equipped with software to beat emissions tests. How bad is that you say?

So earlier this week, in between taking care of my newborn and watching something on TV, I had another epiphany.

As well all probably have seen in our favorite magazine, or somewhere on the internet, Porsche is giving us a new 911. What? Divide by Zero, Hell just froze over and Top Gear is bringing back Clarkson. Now, before you go down into you apocalypse bunkers, let's really think this through. Porsche is giving us...

Yes...you have read the title right. The 2017 Bentley Bentayga is capable of hitting a top speed of 187mph or 301kph. That is completely unnecessary. That is so unnecessary, I love it. I guess the 6.0L W12 pushing out 550 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque, should be more than enough. Not only is this... Continue Reading →
